Abstract :
Beam position control in beam waveguides subject to statistical variations is studied. Variations in alignment and component values cause the beam to be displaced from the guide axis. A control system to correct this displacement is described. Both the expected and the rms values of the beam position are discussed. An approximate expression for the stability conditions is determined.
